Starting a thread for discussion before/after the game.
My Prediction: 44-38 for the Buccaneer's
Tom Brady MVP
I think it'll be close, high scoring and it should be a great game. But I think Brady goes out a champion and retires after this season, even though I'm not a huge Brady guy its destined to happen.

The game wont be high scoring. Limited possessions as TB makes sure to make plays to keep clock running. In bounds plays not tons of incomplete passes. Brady will protect his D and keep it close.
KC will try to get more possessions because more total possessions in games favours that offense. To beat them you need them itchy on the sidelines.
That's how you get a game with a 3 or 4 point score difference.

I think TB will use Fournette like Tennessee does with Henry to take time off the clock setting up play action and keeping Mahomes from getting into a rhythm. I think it will end up a high scoring game and they'll hit the over of 56 because there will be some quick strikes on both sides and probably one defensive TD and a special teams TD.
Tampa will have to get pressure on Mahomes and their D has been getting stronger with every game especially with pass rush, they don't have to get sacks but just get pressure and don't take the foot off the pedal like SF did last year.

Most of the real people there are health care workers who have been vaccinated. |

My God, the Chiefs are playing stupid on D tonight!!! All the DB's are Holding ........I think it's over already . Didn't agree with the one call incidental contact with Evans on an uncatchable ball ....then again the Hollywood Script doesn't work out perfectly if KC wins . |

Dont ignore the offside on the 4th and 4 - that was just bad. I know they snapped it at 1 second on the play clock but it got Brady back on the field. And like the hold on the kick when the kicker bobbled the ball and on the 2nd kick muffed it. It adds up. |

Wow, KC doesn't go for it on 4th down to start the 2nd half, kicks the FG and the Bucs go right down the field and score 7.

31-9 now but 17 minutes left.
All those plays to stay in bounds and keep clock running by TB now force KC to be fully one dimensional on all remaining possessions. They need yards and cant take several snaps with click running to get them. 3 possession game - not enough time without a heavy success with passing most every down.

I don't totally agree with TB12 getting MVP ... not to take anything away from the way he played. He got his offense 31 points which was pretty much expected. This game was won by the TB defence who didn't give Mahomes any time and made his day very uncomfortable. Who else has held the KC offense to zero TDs, and only 9 pts. Not sure who you'd give it to on the TB defence but maybe they all should have it. Giving it to TB12 seems like the easy way out.

It blows my mind that they have Brady the MVP after he throws for a whopping 200 yards and the Defense keeps KC to 9 points...give to to White, or Barrett, or Davis or Suh, or David...
As much as Brady has had a great career, the Bucs D won them the SB. They shut down Brees, Rogers and Mahomes on 3 straight weeks...55 combined points...Brady had 700 combined yards.
